McDonald's Sales Crumble All Around The World!!!

a friend of mine manages one right off I-95 in holly'weird' fl and he told me that there is ALWAYS somebody at the drive thru window 24/7 so that doesn't sound like 'sales are crumbling' to me...

McDonalds is food for the poor and God knows there are enough poor people in this country.

Poor people in the U.S.

You should get out and see the world. As an American, I had no idea what poverty was until I went to countries that are actually poor. Try spending time in a place like Laos and you'll have your definition of "poor people" redefined for you in a hurry. The average worker's salary in Laos is less than $1/day (which is common in many countries in the world), so many people there try to harvest the metal from the millions of bombs dropped on the country during the Vietnam War (Laos is the most heavily-bombed country in history), even though they know there's a good chance the bomb they're trying to get the metal from is UXO (unexploded ordnance) and could well blow up in their faces. Now THAT my friend is poverty.

Alexis de Tocqueville: "I sought for the key to the greatness of America in her harbors; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America ceases to be great."

You people with the compassion of a cobra - you deserve what's coning.

Thanks for that, Kirk. The lack of compassion among a certain segment of the population is astonishing. He was a divisive figure, to be sure, but I think Che Guevara said it best: "Above all, always be able to feel deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world."

And as for the topic at hand, McDonald's, one of the best things that could happen to this world is that the public wakes up and realizes that they've been poisoned all these years by McDonald's and other fast food companies. McDonald's is a deeply-interwoven part of the fabric of the eugenics agenda of TPTB.

I can't eat at McDonalds and only their food affects me with severe abdominal cramping. I have a iron stomach, I can eat things that could make a dog puke but when it comes to McD, I am out for at least a day and no longer purchase any of their solid food products.

MD's is really good in Japan compared to what they serve here and the stores are always cleaner too! I don't think they have ever gotten my order wrong either, not once! I miss the koroke baagaa from Japan. Damn, didn't they just have a big hiring spree not to long ago?? More job losses from the looks of things. :(

When a fami.y of four spend $50 bucks at McDonalds it is no longer affordable for the poor. No doubt that EBT cards will soon be able to be used there.

They already can be used.

Ill vouch for that...there was a McDonalds franchise in NE ohio some years back and they actually had an EBT machine for hot food....of course they eventually got rid of the machine, for what reasons i do not know....

I can't even remember the last time I ate at McDonalds, I'm over weight and love food like that but I just don't like McDonalds anymore. Food sucks.

I tried their breakfast - never again. Wasn't that much cheaper than a real restaurant and the sausage tasted vile. Screw me once, shame on you. My momma drowned her idiot children. There won't be a second time. Their breakfast muffin, add an egg $1. What a screwing. McD corporate are crazy if they think they can build a business selling dog food.

McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 1.5 million people

McDonald's revenues grew 27 percent over the three years ending in 2007 to $22.8 billion, and 9 percent growth in operating income to $3.9 billion

Wish i was as crazy as the Mcdonalds coperation.

OP wasn't talking about 2007. I'm sure he posted this today. After the economic collapse in 2008 things are getting much worse. Even Wal Mart is having problems with profitability and their prices are at an all time high.

When you think of unhealthy fast food, McDonalds is ALWAYS the biggest and first to come to mind. Been that way for 25 years or so.

So burger king isn't as bad in the public eye, generally less older people eating at McDonalds and people waking up and trying to be healthier among other things drives their sales down.

that is funny and he told me today they take inventory once a week and it used to be 5K short on the take but now they got it down to about 2500 so they cut it in half but that is how much people shove in their mouths through out the day.

dude lets get a big mac and have a laugh about GLP...

We use to eat there once a week.Pick up on the way home but we stopped last year.The food got worse,and the items on the value menu arent good at all anymore.What use to cost $6 or so for us to eat now averages around $15.You have to get 2 burgers on the value menu to equal the food one had before so we had to buy more to have enough.Better places to eat if you have to spend more than $5 or so there

my "uncle" told me he cannot go to McDonalds any more because there is something wierd-tasting about the meat.

A company thatis getting ready to go into bankruptcy or wanting to do an entirely new make-over, willdo things to lower sales; they die, then re-bloom with a brand, new un-recognizable face, and new name, often in the dust of the old business.

The company, which has enjoyed a stellar few years following the economic crisis, said that its turnover had increased by 12pc to $27bn, with net income increasing 11pc to $5.5bn.

This is the ninth consecutive year that sales have increased after it suffered from a crisis of confidence at the end of the 1990s.

They supposedly have stopped using the pink slime in the beef.I think it was like 15% beef and 85% pink slime filler until the first quarter of 2012.Soaked in good ole ammonia to make it safe for us to eat.
